Well, we have songs about them, but not necessarily both in the same song. And farmers' wives, not just daughters ("The Barley and the Rye")

As regards travelling salesmen, the late Keith Morley (of Artisan) was responsible for the wonderful line (in "then all his other wives came in") "He worked in ladies' tights. We always thought that was his job, not what he did at nights"!
